Hill rubs elbows with yet another president

Few people get to meet a U.S. president. Dule Hill has met four — one fake and three real ones. And now he's gotten to strut his stuff in front of a sitting one.

The actor and dancer, who played a personal presidential aide on "The West Wing," got a chance to perform a song for hundreds of world leaders, including President Barack Obama, on Monday night during a reception for U.N. leaders.

Hill and cast members of the upcoming Broadway musical "After Midnight," a musical celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the famous Cotton Club nightclub in Harlem, sang a few numbers at the Waldorf Astoria, a swanky Park Avenue hotel. Hill sang "I've Got the World on a String," and other cast members sang the songs "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and "Creole Love Call."

It's just Hill's latest close encounter with a commander in chief: He met Jimmy Carter at a Democratic National Convention a few years ago and has met Bill Clinton many times, even watching his last State of the Union from the White House. And Hill was, of course, a close associate of Josiah Bartlet, the president played by Martin Sheen on "The West Wing."

Lindsay Lohan's mother has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving charges in New York.

A judge in Hempstead suspended Dina Lohan's driver's license on Tuesday before releasing her without bail.

State police say the 50-year-old was stopped earlier this month while allegedly speeding on a Long Island parkway.

A breath test showed the mother of the troubled film actress had a blood-alcohol level that was more than double New York's legal limit of 0.08 percent. Dina Lohan was issued tickets for DWI and speeding.

Dina Lohan's lawyer, Mark Heller, said in court Tuesday that his client has no criminal record. She was later driven away in a silver Rolls Royce.
